The killer tsunami of 2004 and the devastation of Hurricane Katrina remind us of the fragility of man's place on his home planet. Now "Time" explores the past, present and future of this unpredictable planet, tracing the rise and fall of ancient civilizations, exploring earth's most extreme environments and flying with scientists into the wildest of weather systems. This is an attractive volume that combines Time's world famous writing with a collection of powerful photographs. "Time" has been at the forefront of modern discoveries and is uniquely positioned to provide a fascinating look back at the discoveries that changed the world.
